People who flashed the Verizon 3.3 upgrade directly (not the sanitized version from ppcgeeks) got a new bootloader version that had two key effects: 1) the standard RUU no longer worked (e.g. error 201), and 2) the amount of memory for the rom image was reduced on some devices (not yours, lucky for you). The uber-geeks developed the NewBootloader RUU to workaround the first issue and developed a bootloader "reversion" procedure ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=7820) for those affected by the second issue. All affected phones (even those with "reverted" bootloaders) still need to use the NewBootloader RUU.

Ahh that makes it much more clear. As I was (mis)understanding it the new bootloader that had the problem was the 2.04 not the 1.04. I guess I was just not reading it correctly. So anything with a .04 revision ending bootloader needs the new RUU, correct? I will give the x.04 compile with the phone in bootloader mode a run tonight, got to go get the new puppy (chocolate lab) first. Thanks for the information!
